Julia Popławska’s film is an image of a quiet, charming and almost idyllic Polish village.

The Możejkos spend time on the porch of their wooden cabin, slowly conversing on what surrounds them and directly affects their lives – the weather, flowers and vegetables growing in their back garden. The view from the porch is their only outlook on the world – this is where they observe the changing nature or any special events in the neighbourhood. From time to time their calm life, undisturbed by haste or worry, acquires some variety when a car or a singing group of pilgrims pass down the nearby road. This short document is a collection of static and extremely vivid takes expressing the mood of idyll, order and quiet.
